About

The Whittemore House is a beautiful historic preservation mansion available for weddings and private event rentals of all types. Located in the heart of Dupont Circle, Washington, DC, we’re the perfect spot for your event needs.

Nine enchanted rooms of varying size make the space an ideal setting for private parties, weddings and special events. Each is unique in character and beautifully furnished with antiques, art and political memorabilia. The mansion is special in that none of its public rooms are square or rectangular. A charming courtyard also provides a comfortable outdoor setting for guests to enjoy.

The Whittemore House is unique in that we offer all-inclusive capabilities. Whatever it is you want for your event, our team can make it happen. We offer in-house catering, premium bar options, A/V systems and rentals (chairs, tables, utensils, linens, etc.) Our Event Coordinator, Ric, will work with you to plan the menu that suits your needs.

Truly Special Venue

We can't recommend Whittemore House and Lyn, Walter and the whole team there more highly. We actually decided to go with this venue in part because of how impressed we were by how professional the staff was. And we are glad we did. If you want a beautiful, historic and special space, this is it. It's also centrally located so your guests can stay all over Dupont (or frankly all over D.C.) in hotels and AirB&Bs and walk home, metro or grab an Uber/Taxi easily. This lovely venue will have a special place in our hearts forever. Huge thanks to Walter for helping us execute a perfect wedding from start to finish.

We had an incredible experience at the Whittemore House at our wedding this weekend. We chose to hire Allison as our day-of coordinator which I would highly recommend - she kept us on schedule and pretty much coordinated the day of perfectly. She also dealt with questions from several sources and connected with the vendors to make sure they knew when to arrive, etc. The venue is beautiful and the staff was very accommodating with last minute changes due to the hurricane. They set up our decorations and arch better than we could have and we loved the space as guests could walk around inside or mingle outside if they wanted a break. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend the Whittemore House!

The Women’s National Democratic Club is an amazing venue. Everyone tells you when you get married that something will go wrong at your wedding – but that didn’t happen to us. Walter and the other staff at the venue made sure everything went perfectly. They were responsive, set up everything and managed the event so that we could focus on the big day. The bartender and wait staff were also amazing with our guests and made sure everyone had a fun time. From making sure the ceremony was perfect to managing the big moments like the cake cutting – the staff was friendly, professional and handled everything from start to finish. They were also extremely helpful during the wedding planning process, recommended vendors and helped us make key decisions. We are so glad we went with them. I don’t think you will receive the same attention at any other venue in the city.
